Edinburgh is one of the best cities in Scotland for a proper night out — and quiz nights are a big part of that. Premier SpeedQuizzing currently runs regular weekly events at over ten venues across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, and West Lothian. Here’s a guide to where you can find us — and what makes each venue worth your time.
Edinburgh Street Food — Leith Street, Edinburgh
Edinburgh Street Food on Leith Street is one of Edinburgh’s most popular food and drink venues and home to a regular Premier SpeedQuizzing night. Free to play, with prizes for the top three teams each week. Great street food, cold drinks, and a high-energy quiz make this one of the best nights out in the city.
The Pleasance Café & Bar — Edinburgh (EUSA)
The Pleasance is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic venues, best known as a Fringe hub but a brilliant pub quiz location year-round. The Premier SpeedQuizzing night here runs as part of the Edinburgh University Students’ Association (EUSA) programme, bringing a lively student crowd and a fantastic atmosphere.
Teviot Row — Edinburgh (EUSA)
Teviot Row House is one of the oldest purpose-built student unions in the world and another EUSA venue hosting a regular Premier SpeedQuizzing night. The stunning Victorian building provides a unique backdrop for a quiz night, with a great bar and a crowd that takes the competition seriously.
Iona Bar — Easter Road, Edinburgh
The Iona Bar on Easter Road is a well-loved local pub in the heart of one of Edinburgh’s most characterful neighbourhoods. A regular Premier SpeedQuizzing night brings a loyal crowd of regulars and plenty of competitive banter — exactly the kind of local quiz night that keeps people coming back every week.
Ravelston House — Musselburgh
Ravelston House in Musselburgh is a popular venue for the Thursday night Premier SpeedQuizzing crowd. A welcoming atmosphere, good facilities, and a loyal group of regulars make this one of the most consistent quiz nights in the Lothians.
The Buccleuch — Dalkeith
The Buccleuch in Dalkeith is a great local pub that’s built a strong SpeedQuizzing following since Premier SpeedQuizzing started running regular nights there. If you’re based in Midlothian and looking for a quiz night close to home, this is well worth the trip.
The Old Colliery — Danderhall
The Old Colliery at Danderhall has a rich local history and a welcoming community atmosphere that suits the SpeedQuizzing format perfectly. A regular Premier SpeedQuizzing night here draws a competitive and enthusiastic crowd from across Midlothian.
David Lloyd — Danderhall
The David Lloyd club at Danderhall is a slightly different setting for a quiz night — and all the better for it. A Premier SpeedQuizzing night at a health and leisure venue brings in members who might not normally attend a pub quiz, and the format works brilliantly for that kind of mixed, social crowd.
Deer Park Golf Club — Livingston
Deer Park Golf Club in Livingston is a quality venue with excellent facilities and a great bar. The Premier SpeedQuizzing night here draws members and guests from across West Lothian and is a popular fixture in the club’s social calendar.
Livingston Lodge Hotel — Livingston
The Livingston Lodge Hotel provides a comfortable and well-equipped venue for a Premier SpeedQuizzing night, with a lively bar and a crowd that spans hotel guests and local regulars alike. A great option if you’re based in or around Livingston.
Prestonpans Labour Club — Prestonpans
Prestonpans Labour Club is a proper community venue with a loyal membership and a fantastic atmosphere for a quiz night. The Premier SpeedQuizzing nights here have built a strong following in East Lothian, and the friendly competitive spirit makes for a brilliant evening.
